How to Request Noblesville Police Records

Indiana's Access to Public Records Act (APRA) under Indiana Code § 5-14-3 gives you the right to request police blotter records in Noblesville. You do not need to give a reason. Written requests must be acknowledged within seven days, and in-person requests within 24 hours. Noblesville follows standard APRA procedures.

The JustFOIA portal at noblesvillein.justfoia.com/publicportal is the primary way to submit a records request to the Noblesville Police Department. When you click "New Request" in the portal, you will see two options: one for police records and one for general city records. Police records, including incident reports and blotter data, must go through the form labeled "Request for Public Record (Police Department)." Using the general city form for police records can delay processing. Be specific about the date, location, and type of incident you need. That helps the Records Division locate the right file quickly.

You can also submit requests in person at the Public Safety Building during business hours. Phone requests can be made at (317) 776-6340 during the 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. window. Written requests by mail go to 135 South 9th Street, Noblesville, IN 46060.

The Noblesville Records Division page at noblesville.in.gov/448/Records-Division has more detail on what the division can provide and how to structure your request.

Note: If your request is denied, contact the Indiana Public Access Counselor at 317-233-9435 or through in.gov/pac. The PAC provides free assistance to residents who need help getting records from local agencies.
